Nice work Rod!

For those who haven't see it, Rod has a very good mosaic at:

Very well done mosaic.

I find it difficult to maintain an nice even tone across an area as large as
you've been able to do.

Those C-11's must be fairly decent;-)

Thanks, bro!

Rod: Looks good to me. That must be a pretty slick scope you have there, I
have never been able to read the name tags on the craters with any of mine...

Hi Jon:

Well, I keep tellin' ya, GET A C11! :-)

Hi Anthony:

Indeed they are! :-) But the real secret, such as it is? Don't apply any
processing (or at least process each frame exactly and precisely the same way)
until you get 'em mosaiced together. I do a little wavelet filtering on frames,
but then leave 'em alone until I've run 'em through Imerge.

Maybe. With my current scopes I can't see the name tags on the craters but I
have been able to make the Braille Labels that are there for the blind
astronomers....

Good point Jon! Note too, the absence of colour fringes on any of the
white crater lettering - the sign of a high-quality telescope!
